  Sometimes a household’s income drops suddenly because of a job layoff, an illness or death, or a divorce. It’s natural to feel shocked or panicked or to want to ignore the situation. As hard as it is, you need to let your creditors know about your financial situation. Some of your creditors may be willing to work with you during a rough patch if you’re honest with them and contact them before you miss any payments. No matter how bad your situation might be, ignoring your worries won’t make them go away.
